TERROR HOUSE is your typical Polonia Brothers' film. Poorly SOV (shot-on-video), extremely low budget with terrible acting.
TERROR HOUSE tells the tale of three college students (who look forty, to be honest) who are lead to a house with a dark history with the false reward of $25,000 if they agree to house-sit for the mysterious owner. Once there, they are drugged, and while they are out cold the mysterious owner bricks up every entrance and exit of the house. Including the windows. They soon realize they are trapped with a bloodthirsty creature who soon begins picking them off.
It's not a great film by any means, but Jon McBride and the Polonia Brothers still managed to maintain a moderate level of suspense and dread throughout the entire film. Their creative use of colored gel lights adds to the ambiance even more. I was a little disappointed with the downbeat ending, though.
Shot over a solid 24 hour period, you can certainly tell. However, with the budget and time constraints, it'a not that bad. It could've been a lot worse. Check it out if you are a fan of no-budget B-horror movies, or a fan of the Polonia Brothers. You also may want to keep an eye out for a cameo appearance from B-movie actor Jeff Dylan Graham (Home Sick, October Moon) as a friend of one the "college" students.
